WASHER USE
Starting Your Washer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic
references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed
information.
1. Add measured detergent. Add liquid detergent to the bottom
of the washer or powdered detergent to the detergent
dispenser drawer.
NOTE: If desired, powdered color-safe bleach can be added
to the detergent dispenser with the powdered detergent.
Liquid color-safe bleach should be added to the bottom of
the washer basket.
Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
■ Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items.
■ Items should move easily through the wash water.
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
■ To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some
synthetic knits, use the large load water level setting to
provide more space (see Step 5).
2. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into
the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach will be dispensed
automatically during the wash part of the cycle.
■ Do not use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use
less for a smaller load size.
■ Follow the manufacturer’s directions for proper use.
■ To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not
let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer
basket.
■ Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
